If its a full floater,you can. Other that the obvious issue's like stud lenth, hub pilot depth, brake size, hub size, etc. Change that stuff and your golden.

Unless you're always pulling a trailer I wouldn't bother. Your adding a lot of weight and tire replacement cost to your truck by going to a drw axle.
